Marfin Handmade Silvertip Badger Shaving Brush #139

Unlike its brother the 138, number 139 is smaller and round. Thicker toward the top and tapering along its length, this brush is a light, almost caramel brown. Smooth and unmarred, the top part of the briar shows richer hues of dark, reddish brown pitting in unique patterns. Fitting comfortably in the hand, this brush is made to hold. You won't want to let go.

Although the word “artisanal” has come to be overused on many occasions, Marfin products are one of the few remaining items for which the term is truly deserved. Are they expensive? Sure. But worth it? Oh, yes. This is as close to bespoke as you're going to get.

Each Marfin brush is entirely unique. Handcrafted by a single man, Marco Finardi, and stamped with a unique serial number, your Marfin brush is guaranteed to be the only one like it in the world.

Pure silvertip badger hair knot, 26 mm

Italian briar handle

Handmade in Italy

Marfin was founded when Marco Finardi, a graphic designer from Cremona, combined his passions for wet shaving and outstanding design. Drawing inspiration from luxury pipes, Finardi crafts the handles of his brushes from the finest Italian briarwood. His silvertip badger knots are made exclusively for him by Florentine craftsmen.

Each handle is created entirely by hand from selected pieces of briar. To ensure durability, the wood is soaked in citrus-scented Tung Oil, and then polished with caruba wax.

Finally, each brush is stamped with a unique serial number, and then packaged with a hand-signed note from Marco Finardi himself, bearing his wax seal. Buy a Marfin brush, and know you hold a truly artisanal product, crafted with passion and care.
